UUID v7 Support

[chrisgoddard]

Initial Checks

• I have searched Google & GitHub for similar requests and couldn't find anything
• I have read and followed the docs and still think this feature is missing

Description

UUIDv7 is becoming much more widely utilized in a variety of applications due to it's embedded timestamp and lexicographical sorting. It would be great to have that version supported by the Pydantic UUID field type.

Affected Components

• Compatibility between releases
• Data validation/parsing
• Data serialization - .model_dump() and .model_dump_json()
• JSON Schema
• Dataclasses
• Model Config
• Field Types - adding or changing a particular data type
• Function validation decorator
• Generic Models
• Other Model behaviour - model_construct(), pickling, private attributes, ORM mode
• Plugins and integration with other tools - mypy, FastAPI, python-devtools, Hypothesis, VS Code, PyCharm, etc.

Hi @sydney-runkle Just a heads up—the default uuid package currently doesn't support UUIDv7. We'll need to use a uuid_utils package and add it separately.

ref1: https://docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html
ref2: https://pypi.org/project/uuid-utils/0.2.0/
ref3: https://discuss.python.org/t/add-uuid7-in-uuid-module-in-standard-library/44390

Looking forward to your feedback!

Hmph, in that case, we can add support in pydantic-extra-types, but won't offer first class support here until it's included in the stdlib uuid package.
